Quick Catch up post

Okay, after a reasonably good start, I've gone too long without
posting here. This is because I'm trying not to post too much from work
and when I'm at home, Moose and Squirrel are a handful especially if my mom
doesn't come over to help and it's just Nightingale and I.

While
I stand by my earlier proclamation that this has been a relatively mild
winter, I am ready for it to be over. It's just too cold to do
anything and the snow has turned into ice which makes carting two
infants around a bit more problematic.

When we drop the kiddos
off at day care, the side of the car that is facing the parkway is
usually off limits because of the pile of snow.

So
we didn't go grocery shopping over the weekend. We should have, but we
didn't and I don't want to go into the details of that bad decision. I
just want to write about how it came back to bite us in the ass.
Because we didn't leave the house to physically shop in the store, we
opted to order from Peapod. The earliest available slot was Tuesday and
we had a choice of 7-9 or 8-10.

We thought that if we picked
the 7-9 slot, with our luck, Peapod would arrive at 7, right as we were
trying to get our kids down for the night. So I said we should take the
8-10 slot. It did occur to me that means they could arrive at 10 but
we are usually up anyway because one of the two kids wakes up around
then. It never occurred to me that they would be 45 minutes late on the
first night in weeks that our kids decided to sleep for 4 straight
hours without and we could have gone to bed much earlier!
